Education

The 18-year-old senior at Anderson County High School was recognized recently for having perfect school attendance for 12 consecutive years, a rare feat that has only been accomplished one other time during the past decade or so.

Powell says a variety of factors went into her not missing school from her first day in first grade through the day she graduates later this month, not the least of which is guilt.

Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg juniors and seniors spent last Wednesday morning sprucing up the landscaping in front of the Anderson Senior Center.

“The kids from CAL are just another example of how some very simple acts of kindness can make a big difference at the senior center,” director Steve Carmichael said. “When given the opportunity and knowing there’s a need, the support we get from young people like these and others makes you value the life we have in Lawrenceburg even more.”
